It got so bad that the instructors gave up on setting targets and just graded them for how many they could do.

And now it was nighttime,

And they were experiencing an extreme amount of Muscle Fatigue...

Their limbs didn\'t want to move, and they couldn\'t...

And as so many of them couldn\'t move, most of them had to be carried by the students who could move and some instructors.

And as Jeffrey Stewart looked at them all, he had highlighted a few of them in his journal, the one who aced this fitness test.

These select few were of course Alan Peccator, who did every exercise easily and was the first to do them.

Alexander Wright, who may have been slower, also did them with ease.

The Others were Lucas Hiddleston, Elijah Ardor, Ren Kurosaki, Ryuda Isshin, and some others from Hero Academy.

They all performed exceptionally in these tests, acing them all even when some instructors gave them extra exercises.

However, Jefferey was honestly very very surprised that some Shield Students could keep up.

Hero academy had special classes designed to test their students to the physical Limit, whilst Shield mostly focused on Mana and its properties.

He had predicted that Hero Academy students would ace this test easily while the Shield Students would ace the other Mana-related tests.

The fact that some students from Shield beat Hero Academy, was surprising.

And by such a wide margin at that.

"ALRIGHT FAGGOTS, GET TO DOING YOUR NIGHT TASKS NOW!"

Jefferey yelled in a loud voice to the students, telling them to prepare to do their night tasks such as cooking, collecting firewood, etc.

They could do it as a group, or alone.

The Purpose of this camp was to teach them the world wasn\'t nice, and how to survive.

[Alan Peccator POV]

I equipped my spear from my inventory, intending to do some nighttime training in the woods.

Well, I also have been given a task to do. which is collecting wood.

There lies a single problem though.

"Wait....for me."

I heard Sabrina barely be able to speak as she struggled to walk.

"Why are you following me?"

I asked her and she answered after collecting her breath.

"Because I have the same task as you."

\'What? How does that....wait.\'

And just as i suspected, she showed a sweet fake smile and said.

"Please collect my portion too, My Bodyguard"

...this woman...

"No."

I denied her...but then...

"I\'ll pay you."

"Ok."

I ended up agreeing.

I mean, it is an easy task. Might as well make some bucks while I\'m at it.

We continued walking through the Forest, My Pace slow so she could walk easily.

"Why don\'t we just collect wood from here?"

She asked, and I said to her.

" Because I plan on going somewhere secluded to train."

I plan on going somewhere far and quiet to train so that no students or instructors could interrupt me.

But then she asked me another question as we walked, a question to which the answer I could not easily say.

"Why do you train so much? You are already the strongest.

Arent you just destroying your body by overworking?"

Why do I Train so much?

and destroying my body?

How Funny, My phoenix powers heal my body continuously.

And why do I train so much?

"Because Im Afraid."

Im Scared....because I have seen the level of the opponents Aranus Faced, I have the memories That James planted in me about the Enemies Elijah faced.

The Guys that could destroy worlds, stars easily.

I have seen it...and that\'s what makes me afraid.

The supreme and higher ranked beings that were Alive during the time Aranus was active know what he looks like, They know this body.

Adding on the Abyss, and James...I\'m afraid of what can happen.

Unlike what I had thought of this world, it being a novel...now I know it isn\'t.

I... can\'t predict everything...and I am not smart enough to predict it.

Will I be strong enough to fight them off if they suddenly appear?

No...i wont and I don\'t even know what I\'m capable of.

The Power of Chaos belonged to Aranus, the power of frost belonged to James...and mine is Space.

Yet I haven\'t even grasped mine yet.

I can use theirs, but I don\'t even know of mine.

And the frustration I feel is immense.

I don\'t even know my Name...just going by the Name of Alan., the former name of Aranus.

I don\'t even know myself, what I truly am. What I am Capable of.

And that is why I\'m afraid.

[Sabrina Wellington PoV]

"Because I am afraid."

Afraid?

I Didnt understand his words.

HE is Afraid?

Of what?

What is the strongest first ranker of Shield, the youngest C Rank in History, The Star of Twilight, afraid of?

He is the guy that injured EZRA FORNUM FOR CHRISTS SAKE!

Just what is he afraid of?

Numerous thoughts filled my head, but as I looked at his face.

I guess all of them disappeared mysteriously.

As always, those two beautiful eyes caught my attention as I could only see them when I looked at his face.

But it was just then...that \'it\' Happened.

*WOOOONNNNGGGG!*

A Wave of deadly, unknown mana passed by us, and covered the whole Island.

And then, as I wondered what that was...i heard even more terrifying sounds.

*BOOOM!*

Explosions going off the entire island, at different times.

And then...I was Pulled By Alan grabbing my arm and an explosion happened where I previously stood at.

I Didnt know what was happening, all I knew was that I was suddenly in his arms, and in my original location was a hooded figure with a green, large hand outstretched.

And then As Alan was letting me down, He sent me a message.

[Sabrina, No matter what happens...don\'t get too far away from me.

Shit is about to get real.]

Next Chapter Preview.]

[Elijah Ardor PoV]

*Boom!*

I heard multiple explosions go off, but remained calm as I said to Serena, who was accompanying me.

"Serena, Stay behind me."

"Got it, I\'ll buff you."

She answered and numerous buffs were placed on me as I drew my Sword and enveloped myself in flames.

[You have been Blessed by the blessing of Hermes,(LOW)]

[You Have received a mild healing buff.]

...

"Damn...the bitch had a protector huh, and here I was thinking it was going to be easy."

I heard him speak...a being I recognized far too well. Someone belonging to a race I had clashed with previously.

Black Skin, Horns, Purple Eyes...A Demon. And a Pretty Strong one at that.

"Oh well, Ill have one skinning you at least!"

It said joyfully, and its mana of Chaos clashed with my flames.

Multiple explosions went off in the background, accompanied by some screams of students.

Three Beams of White light going up the sky, in a far off area where a slight crackle of thunder could be heard.

I ignored them all, And simply focused on this Demon.

If I want to save them, I Have to deal with this one first.

My fire, and its Chaos...Clashed with one another as I charged at it.
